SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU, Quebec, May 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beginning today, Logistik Unicorp will embark on a cross-country Canadian supplier tour in support of its offering for the government’s upcoming Operational Clothing and Footwear Consolidated Contract (OCFC2). The tour, scheduled to run from May 1 - 5, will include stops in major manufacturing hubs including Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal. Logistik is hoping to meet with more than 100 clothing and textile companies from across the country to expand its Canadian supplier base and in turn build a strong value proposition for the impending one-billion-dollar government contract.
“This supplier tour represents an important step in expanding and strengthening Logistik’s Canadian supply chain. Maintaining a strong domestic economy and a healthy textile sector are both important strategic objectives for OCFC2,” said Louis Bibeau, founder and president of Logistik Unicorp.
Logistik is working closely with Canada’s federal regional economic development agencies to organize the regional events and facilitate meetings with a wide range of companies. Each regional agency is working to leverage OCFC2 and the Department of National Defence’s requirement for a new and more efficient managed clothing solution, to bring new opportunities to the clothing and textile companies operating in their respective regions.
“When we’re finished building our team, I am confident that Logistik’s offering will drive superior benefits to all parts of Canada, coast-to-coast,” added Mr. Bibeau. “Logistik’s managed clothing solution for OCFC2 will not only create new, long-term jobs in Canada, it will support sustainable growth efforts for the sector with a focus on product development, innovation and export.”
Interested suppliers that are unable to meet with Logistik during the week-long tour are encouraged to register on the team’s new supplier registration page at: www.OCFC2.com .
